As ERP ecosystems continue shifting toward partner-led growth models, financial planning platform Martus Solutions has appointed Peyton Burch as Vice President of Channel Sales — a move that signals deeper investment in structured partner strategy across integrated finance and ERP environments.
Announced on March 2, 2026, from Greenville, South Carolina, the appointment brings to Martus a seasoned channel executive previously serving as Vice President of Channel Sales at Sage Intacct. Burch is widely recognized within the ERP partner community for building structured and scalable VAR programs.
The leadership move comes at a time when ERP-aligned financial planning platforms are expanding beyond standalone functionality and positioning themselves as integrated layers within broader accounting and enterprise ecosystems.
Strengthening Channel Strategy in an Integrated ERP Landscape
Martus Solutions delivers a budgeting, forecasting, and reporting platform designed to replace spreadsheet-driven processes with collaborative financial planning workflows. The platform integrates with mid-market ERP systems including Acumatica, Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, and Xero.
As ERP vendors and adjacent planning tools increasingly compete on ecosystem strength rather than standalone feature depth, partner enablement and structured channel programs have become critical growth levers.
Burch brings multiple decades of leadership experience across the accounting and financial software landscape. During his tenure at Sage Intacct, he played a key role in strengthening one of the industry’s most recognized partner programs. His background also includes senior leadership roles at Deltek and the founding of Burch Consultants, where he advised ERP software companies and reseller networks on channel strategy and ecosystem scalability.
“Peyton’s reputation within the ERP channel community speaks for itself,” said Bill Cox, Founder and CEO of Martus Solutions. “As Martus continues to expand across key financial technology platforms, his leadership brings the experience, credibility, and operational rigor necessary to elevate our partner program to its next stage. His appointment underscores our long-term commitment to building a best-in-class partner ecosystem.”
Channel Leadership as a Growth Multiplier
Burch’s appointment reflects a broader industry pattern: ERP-aligned financial performance tools are increasingly prioritizing structured partner ecosystems to scale implementations and deepen integration credibility.
“Martus has built an exceptional product and a loyal community,” said Burch. “What excites me most is the opportunity to build on that foundation to help partners grow faster, implement Martus more effectively, and deliver measurable value to their customers. The accounting and ERP ecosystem continues to evolve, and Martus is well positioned to be a linchpin in the modern financial technology stack.”
Alongside the leadership appointment, Senior Director of Partnerships Chris Grady will continue leading Martus’ strategic partnership initiatives. His role will focus on strengthening ERP relationships, advancing technical collaboration, and expanding the company’s referral network across CPA firms, nonprofit consultants, and advisory partners.
Why This Move Matters
Martus recently surpassed 1,300 customers worldwide and operates with a network of 90 active partners. As organizations increasingly seek collaborative, real-time planning tools that connect directly with ERP systems, ecosystem alignment has become a competitive differentiator.
The appointment of a veteran ERP channel executive signals that Martus is not merely expanding sales capacity, but formalizing its partner infrastructure to support scalable growth across nonprofit, faith-based, education, mission-driven, and growth-focused business sectors.
In today’s ERP environment, where financial data integration and workflow connectivity are central to enterprise decision-making, structured channel leadership is emerging as a strategic requirement — not an operational afterthought.
Martus’ move reflects that shift.
